It’s hard to believe, but just 4 more days to Youmacon! As always, I’ve got way too much left to do. The main task is completing two costumes for my youngest ones before I go to Detroit. I’m making Banana man and Domo-kun costumes. My own cosplays for the con just need final touches, the biggest being the ribbons on my Miho. The other touches are largely optional, but stuff I’d like to have done anyway.
It feels kind of weird running off to an anime convention after being laid off. But I’d already registered and made plans for it. And I’m sure it will lift my spirits. The last time I was laid off, we actually went to Disney World and it all turned out fine in the end.
This year, I even have an AMV in the contest finals. So I think this is going to be great. And the con ends on the 31st, so I’m planning to return home in time to trick or treat with the kids. Sweet!
